Vogue stories

These pages are from the December 2008 issue of british Vogue. Called 'the fantastic issue', it included short pieces of fashion-themed creative writing by 4 authors, accompanied by these gorgeous illustrations by Klaus Haapaniemi. Maybe we could include some creative writing in the first issue of madEup???

i love fake magazine

Here's some pages from 'i love fake' magazine. The look and style of the spreads is quite grungy and lo-fi, and the photography used is grainy and slightly off focus. They often feature shoots which look like home polaroids of teenagers messing about, and they also profile lots of very cool graphic artists and illustrators. Although the layout of the pages is simple, it is very effective and
promotes a strong aesthetic. I really like the simple black and white block layout with the scribbles across the page.

vices

Vices are a really awesome band, that i have followed since they began at the same school as me in 2006. Their new album is out on 1st may 'the wind I walk into'. I have lined up an interview with them for the magazine as I think they are definitely a band to watch out for.

Riot magazine

These images are from Australian magazine Riot. The magazine focuses on music, culture, and illustration and uses amazing images and graphic illustrations to create really interesting spreads. They also use really inspirational typography.

Illustration by Gabriel Moreno

We have found these beautiful illustrations by Gabriel Moreno, as visual inspiration for our magazine layouts. We love the way the drawings are overlayed, and the splashes of primary and secondary brights visualise the style that we are hoping to achieve.
